I know many folks complain about butchering animals... and I agree is it unreasonably time consuming.
Can we look at increasing butcher speed with a stat? Maybe dexterity.
Or, what about a ess/sub/vit butcher speed modifier?

Also, Charisma should increase chances to get a curio (Weird Beetroot, Wondrous Woodshaving etc.)

Re: Dexterity... increase butchering speed?
Why not just massively speed it up for everyone? The challenge should be in getting the dead animals in the first place, not in having the patience to butcher them.
Once a man has changed the relationship between himself and his environment, he cannot return to the blissful ignorance he left. Motion, of necessity, involves a change in perspective.

Butchering Station for quick animal processing! Includes auto-sorting of entrails, intestines, and meat.
Not my idea, someone mentioned it before but I don't remember who it was.

Because I feel like that is a mechanic that deserves automation *coughs*...
Some table (1x2 tiles, liftable when empty) you put the animal on, operate to butcher (with a reasonable speed), auto creates stockpiles for intestines, bones and hides on the free tiles around it, and has a spot to collect the blood (similar to tar kiln) so we can make Blutwurst.

Re: Dexterity... increase butchering speed?
And here I was thinking we should have to string the animals up an hour before processing them into useful meat and such. After all, you have to let them properly drain. 
In all seriousness, I think having Dexterity be applicable to how quickly the animals get butchered is great. I'm against it being 'super-fast and easy for all', and appreciate the time it takes to process them now.

Sevenless: We already know real life has some pretty shitty game mechanics, it's why we're here instead.
Avu: The end is near it has finally come to pass: I agree with Lunarius...
Shubla: There are also other reasons to play this game than to maximize your stat gain.

I don't have a problem with the time it takes (even if it could be a bit quicker), but with the clicking involved to sort the stuff coming out of the corpses. Plus no Blutwurst.

Re: Dexterity... increase butchering speed?
It would also be cool that entrails wouldn't go in same stockpile than intests.
